- 1 cup uncooked Israeli (pearl) couscous

- 1 small handful parsley chopped

Cook the Israeli couscous according to package directions (I simmered mine for 17 minutes) then drain and rinse with cool water.
Meanwhile, prep the other ingredients.
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and toss together. Adjust vinegar and oil quantities as needed. Salad keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days.
